E199: Day 3 The Gift for Jesus from the Father | Greatest Gift

DAY 3 — MAY 10I'm Your Gift, JesusWe have been taught that God so loved the world He gave His Son. That Jesus is the gift. And that is true — completely true. But Pastor Jose Boveda turns the coin over and shows us the other side, and what's there will change how you walk into every room for the rest of your life.John 17:6. Jesus praying to the Father: "Thine they were, and thou gavest them me." You were given. By the Father. To Jesus. As a gift.The Hebrew word mattanah — gift — is not a casual offering. It's something chosen because of what the giver knows the recipient values. It's something sent with the full weight of the giver's love behind it. God the Father does not give His Son something He doesn't cherish. Which means the moment you received salvation, the Father was saying to Jesus: this one. This one is yours. And I'm giving them to you because I trust you with them.Three women in the Gospels understood this before most theologians put it into words — the woman who reached through the crowd and grabbed the hem of His garment, the Syrophoenician woman who said even the dogs eat the crumbs, the blind man Bartimaeus who would not stop shouting until Jesus stopped walking. Pastor Jose calls it pickpocketing Jesus with your faith. They all brought Him something. They activated something in Him.Today's episode is the one that changes your posture in prayer permanently.📖 Scripture: John 17:6 🔤 Ancient Word: Mattanah (Hebrew) — a gift; something given as the fullest expression of the giver's loveFor more resources and to get your weekly devotional delivered to your inbox, head over to holyshiftmedia.comFor more teaching by Pastor Jose Boveda, check out mfhlv.com for service replays and join live on Sundays at 10am Pacific.
